HEARINGS:

Public Service Electric and Gas Company ("PSE&G")

Applicant is seeking Minor Subdivision Approval, Conditional Use Authorization, and Preliminary and Final Site Plan Approval with Variances in connection with its proposal to build a new electric substation in Pennsauken Township on a portion of the property currently designated as Lots 1, 3 and Lot 7 in Block 2603 on the Pennsauken Township Tax Map. The new substation is proposed to be constructed on an approximately 3.3 acre lot which will result from the proposed minor subdivision of Lots 1, 3 and 7 in Block 2603. The subject property fronts on Haddonfield Road, NJ Route 73, NJ Route 90, Haddonfield Road Connector and highway access ramps. The Living Faith Ministries of Camden County Church ("LFM") Christian Center located on the site at 2323 Route 73 is proposed to remain with minor changes to some of the existing parking to accommodate PSE&G's proposal and to reduce the impervious coverage on the resulting LFM lot. The existing PSE&G electric transmission right-of-way over the northwest portion of the subject property near Haddonfield Road ("Transmission ROW") will remain with modifications and changes of support structures to tie into the new substation. The subject property (including the area in the Transmission ROW) lies within the C-1 Commercial, the C-2 Commercial and the LI Light Industrial Zone Districts, all of which allow public utilities as a conditional use. Specifically, PSE&G requests minor subdivision approval to create the following three new lots from Lots 1, 3 and 7 in Block 2603: An approximately 3.3 acre lot fronting on Haddonfield Road and access ramps which will have direct access from the Haddonfield Road Connector and which will be developed with a PSE&G electric substation as further described below. An approximately 1.8-acre lot adjacent to the new PSE&G lot and Rogers Boulevard. A portion of this lot will be used as a temporary laydown area for the substation construction. An approximately 12-acre lot southeast of the new PSE&G lot which will contain the existing LFM church building and church parking lots and driveway with direct access to Route 73. PSE&G requests site plan approval with conditional use authorization for the construction of the electrical substation on the new 3.3-acre lot. In addition to the substation, PSE&G proposes associated construction in the Transmission ROW adjacent to the substation within the rights of way of Route 73 and Haddonfield Road (which have no designated block or lot numbers on the Township Tax Map
